As soon as I collect my luggage I go through customs and look for my name on the signs that people hold up in the arrivals hall. I am often met in arrivals by representatives of the company I’m visiting.

If there’s no-one there to meet me, I jump in a taxi and go straight to the hotel. On a good day, if I’m lucky, I won’t get stuck in traffic. After I check into the hotel, I usually contact the office to see if there are any messages for me.

When I’m finally in my room and can relax, I unpack my things and freshen up. I like to go out for a meal if I’m not too tired. It’s nice to get some fresh air and walk around a bit after dinner. I nearly always have an early night so that I’m ready for work the following day.
